does anyone know if there is a significant difference in weight between the stock disc brakes and the stock drum brakes? the disc brakes look much better, but if the disc system weighs less, i think that would motivate me to convert my rear drums to discs.

drums are mo' heavier. but its not THAT much heavier to justify switching to discs. Stopping distance difference between the 2 is also nothing to write home about. You lock them up everyday?

In the looks department, discs are the way to go, but I've had rear drums on my 98 since 98 and unless someone wants to give me a set of rear discs plus $20, I'm leaving it alone. its always nice to have atleast 2 clean wheels.

yeah i aint messing wityh mine either. eventually, if i decide to go all drag car, ill remove the rear brakes entirely and just have front ones...that will save weight...
